About

Sound larger than life - with production, recording and mixing

I’m an Amsterdam-based producer and audio engineer ready to help you write, record, produce and mix your music. I hold a degree from the Abbey Road Institute Amsterdam (Music production & Audio Engineering), having graduated in 2025 with honors.

As a kid I cluttered my bedroom with cables, guitars, a tiny Zoom microphone and a massive electronic organ off the street. On my music journey, I went from recording on my mom’s iPad to working in high-end studios. I am an experienced performer with Sachee, my own band, as well as a beatmaker, front-of-house engineer, and session guitarist. I bring all that into my studio work as a producer/engineer. We can work together in any space to make your music sound larger than life.

Along the way I also graduated from the VU as a cultural anthropologist, which shapes me in and outside of music. It has made me a better listener and storyteller. I enjoy connecting with different people across genres and backgrounds. I’ll ask you questions about you and about how your music connects to life. Where does your track need to resonate? Are people going to be listening over car speakers, club speakers, headphones, while scrolling through TikTok? Which bars would play your music? Who is your ideal listener? Little tweaks can go a long way. As a guitar player, producer/engineer and cultural anthropologist I’m excited to take your music to the next level together.

The second single off of Sachee’s 2024 EP All In, contrasts big anthem vocals and guitar riffs with the smoothest drums and keys. It all comes together in a true jam. The vocalists, Mark, Helena and Tallulah, muse about themes of liberation and self-actualisation. In the production phase we focused on finding the right balance between stacking layers and leaving space, being catchy and having variations, making it slick and giving it edge. Instrumentally it has shades of jazz-rap, more modern indie productions and R&B.

For this song, I co-wrote the original demo, played guitar, recorded drums and keys and mostly focused on the production and additional mixing.
